the author of the original publication "The Power of Belonging: Identity, citizenship and community cohesion" on which this completely biased and totally misleading xenophobic article is based has replied in full yesterday to the sensational and inaccurate misrepresentation of his work.

Christmas is here to stay

He suggests that much that has been reported has come from the comments of Baroness Warsi* the Conservative spokeswoman on community cohesion

*(Lady Warsi, given a peerage by Mr Cameron so that she could join the Tory front bench, has stated that the "lack of control" over immigration was making people feel "uneasy". She added that the "face" of some communities was changing overnight because of the sudden influx of people from abroad, adding that "the pace of change unsettles communities" and that "people who vote for the far-right British National Party (BNP) have "some very legitimate views" on immigration and crime".
